Here's Why You Should Stock Up
- Pronounced heat spikes during the 2019 growing season in the Southern Rhone had some growers concerned. Yet the harvest proved that significant water reserves and plunging nighttime temperatures made for exceptional ripening conditions.
- Producers who followed in the footsteps of Pentacle's design of "Les Trois Routes" Chateauneuf-du-Pape fared the best in this hot, dry vintage. Their preference for Grenache and Cinsault kept sugar levels in the fruit and subsequent alcohol levels in a workable range. Additionally, fermentation in concrete tanks and a minimal use of oak for aging proved effective in foregrounding the fresh, lively acidity.
- This is a great opportunity to experience the craftsmanship of a dynamic producer working with materials that play to their strengths. Although worthy of a place in the cellar, giving this stellar French red a chance to breathe in a decanter or glass will help unlock its full potential.
